The presentation grew out of an article González-Vallejo co-authored with OHIO alum Bethany D. Lavins (’13) and advisee Kristina A. Carter. The article, “Analysis of nutrition judgments using the Nutrition Facts Panel,” was published in October 2016 in Appetite. González-Vallejo and her co-authors used Brunswik’s lens model as a framework for understanding nutrition beliefs and food choices.

González-Vallejo’s areas of research include social judgment and behavioral decision making. She is currently accepting new graduate students.
